Presenting real life cases from clinical practice, this book claims that children can be conceived of as moral equals without ignoring the fact that they still are children and in need of strong family relationships.

“Claudia Wiesemann's book, Moral Equality, Bioethics, and the Child (2016), is extremely relevant and important. … The reader is taken through a theoretical, practical and emotional journey that brings together ethical and bio-ethical dilemmas from the perspectives of both the child and the adult. … Wiesemann’s innovative and revolutionary moral equality approach invites not only parents, bioethicists, and healthcare professionals but also anyone who seeks to live in a moral society to adopt and practice its ideas.” (Limor Meoded Danon, Bioethical Inquiry, Vol. 16, 2019)“In an era of complicated pediatric bioethical dilemmas due to technological advances, this book is a meaningful contribution to the debate about how much decision-making power a child should have in his or her medical treatment. … it is clear that she intends to reach readers interested in pediatric bioethics. This would include … ethics students, pediatric fellows and physicians, and clinical ethicists.” (Jacob Harrison, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2017)
